My Sunshine!

It's been entirely too long since I've posted on our precious blog! Seems like I've lost some motivation, now that facebook seems to be a one stop shop!

Nevertheless, I feel compelled to stop by here and show the latest from the Boos Brothers, as it is our time capsule of sorts.

The spring has started off so beautifully and the boys are in full "go" mode! We've had a lot of little outings and already enjoyed so many fun moments in the brilliant sunshine!

Despite the fact that I've asked him repeatedly to please "slow down" on his growing- Camden's baby look is almost entirely gone...sniff sniff!

After beginning Tae Kwan Do mid-January, Camden received his orange belt a few weeks ago! I, being a true sap of a Mommy, cried tears of pride!! It was so amazing watching my little boy shine and I realized that was just the first of many moments where he will do exactly that!

His current love is My Little Pony! He is OBSESSED and was more than thrilled when The Easter Bunny brought him his newest pony: Rarity with Glimmer Wings! Other current loves are: Cars Cars and more Cars! Mr. Boos truly is a little sweet talker. He continues to profess how much he loves his Daddy and I on a daily basis, which makes it more than tough to be upset with him in moments where he can get a bit mouthy (hmmmm- I wonder how he acquired such an attribute)!

Sweet Dashy B is as adorable as ever and is doing a great job keeping up with his big brother! I was watching him chase after Camden and their neighbor friends the other day and I was overcome by emotion. I vividly remember the worry that we all had when we were told his gross motor skills were delayed, and am overjoyed that he was able to raise above the obstacles for which he was faced!

Dash loves anything musical...from dancing, to singing, to playing his little bells and drums! I can't help but dream that he will be our little musician and we encourage his budding talent daily!

Just like Camden, Dashton Bleu is a true lover man! He is all about saying: "I So Much Wuv You" to us and believe me...the feeling is beyond mutual!

We had a great Easter! Ali and I cooked Gigi's Beef and Noodles and served it up on she and Grandaddy's beautiful silver! The boys got to hang out with their buddies, Cade and Jake; while Jeremy, Ali, and I enjoyed the company of our good friends: Jen and Shawn (aka:Paw Paw) Ashcraft!

All and All...Life is Sweet here in Weberville! We are looking forward to the many adventures that summer will send our way- as it will be here before we know it!

With Much Love,

Cam and Dashy's Mommy

Four Times The Love!!!



My Sweet and Silly Camden Boos,

After spending a very fun family filled weekend celebrating YOU, our pride and joy; I’m captured by so many memories of days that, at times, seem so long ago- yet also feel as though they were only yesterday.
On the eve of Your birth, I am still easily able to recall this very day four years ago…
Your Daddy and I were anxiously awaiting Your arrival (fivedays past your original due date), and had checked into St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, California.
Although I had carried You in my tummy for nine months and was beyond excited to finally kiss and hold You in my arms; I vividly remember being so very afraid that I would not know what to do once You were born. Would I be everything that You needed? Would I be able to sense Your wants and shield You from harm the way I’d hoped? So many friends and family members assured me that my instincts would take hold and I would know exactly what to do from the moment we met…
Fortunately, despite my intense fears, that is exactly what happened!
From the first moment of Your arrival, You were the true essence of brilliance…the closest thing to perfection I’d ever seen and touched and I knew my heart had never loved this way! It was impossible to believe that the Miracle of You had finally been placed in my arms. That very moment I heard Your beautiful cry I knew the truest definition of: Unconditional Love.
And now here we are, Four Years Later…
From a tiny mild mannered, chubby, sweet baby with super dark skin and hair- to my silly wack-a-doo who simply can’t get enough of cars and music!
You continue to be the most true and pure light that has ever held my heart…the bond we created prior to Your birth has only furthered with every passing day.
I can remember watching You sleep during infancy with Your tiny little arms behind your head! I was so enamored by Your innocence and peace. To this very day, I’m still taken aback every night when I open Your door and see Your lovable yet ever changing handsome face in its most restful state. A Growing and Ever Changing Miracle For Which I’ve Been Blessed!
You have always and continue to inspire me to slow down and appreciate the simple yet intricate aspects of Life.
Yes- at times You can be extremely strong willed and stubborn; however, when I step back and look at the person You are becoming, I realize that I can honestly relate.
I often make light of the notion that I’m “raising myself” when talking about You. I know this concept will never allow for a dull moment-and even at times, You and I may embark upon bumpy terrain. This, however, is a road I’m willing to travel- because You are so very worth it, My Boos.
My goal in raising You, is to be consistent…because I know that is how You will respond best and hence become the gentleman that I have set out to raise.
You already show signs of true Love and Compassion:
From watching You hold open doors because Ladies Go First to having You crawl in
my lap and exclaim: Mommy, You Fill My Heart With Love, there is no moment that I want to forget! How did I become so blessed?
We have silliness about us; You and I! This is an attribute that I have and always will hold very close to my heart! I forever want to Dance Like Nobody's Watching when I’m with You, my sweetest Camden!
I will never forget the happy, yet uncontrollable tears I shed the day after Your birth. I told your Daddy: He’s going to be a man someday; because even though we’d just met, I knew I
didn’t want time to move too quickly.
I have been trying every since to find a Pause Button on Time; because it’s all happening so very beautifully, yet far too rapidly.
So many “firsts” have already come and gone:
Your first bath, the first time You slept through the night, Your first giggle, word, and kiss. Your first playdate; the time You first slept in Your big boy bed; the first time You ran to me with arms open wide; and the first time You cried because You didn’t want me to leave You at school. The
first moment You met Your baby brother; the first night I held You in my arms after
a bad dream and promised You that I’d always keep You safe, Your first soccer game; and all of the firsts in between.
I am honored to be Your Mommy and to be Your guide through the journey of this Beautiful Life!
Your joy and passion take my breath away! Though the past has moved at a speed too fast for my liking, I am grateful for what Your Daddy and I have created in You and for all that lies ahead!
Happy Birthday Camden Boos…My Teeny Tiny Lookalou!!
May Your heart stay as Pure, Sweet, and Golden in the years that await You as it is today!
Best Friends Forever....Hiiiiiii Yaaaaaaaaa
Love Love Love...You You You!

Rock n Roll Baby!




Here's a cute little jam session that I captured last night! Dashy loves playing rockband with his buddy Elmo! What's even more cute is that both boys are dressed in their matching Elmo pjs!


Camden Boos and Dashy are truly turning into such good little buddies! Jeremy and I are now noticing that we are able to go longer periods of time before we have to "break it up" between them.


This time of year is so fun as our back yard really lends itself toward hours of playtime. The boys love running around and playing on our beautiful playground. We have also moved our daily dance parties outside so I can get in on the fun too! The colors of fall are so vibrant this year and we're soaking up as much time outdoors as possible!


Cam is still obsessed with cars...and Dashy is joining in on the cars love as well! So fun watching the two of them play TOGETHER!!


We are gearing up for a LONG trip to Iowa in a few weeks. It's been a great while since the boys have seen Grandma and Papa, Aunt Jamie, Uncle Cory and all of the cousins so we are anxious to arrive! I know that Jeremy's Mom is going to just melt when she gets her hands on our babies!


Hope everyone is enjoying this Autumn season as much as we are!


So Much Love!

This Boys Got The Beat







It's been awhile since I've posted anything...
The Boos Brothers had a busy October filled with fun and celebration!



From Mimi and Grandaddy's vist, Dashy's 2nd Birthday Party, The Pumpkin Patch, a visit from my very dear fun and silly college friend, Amanda and her family, to our Trick or Treat Extravaganza! What a truly fun and whirlwind month!



This video not only makes me laugh out loud, but marvel at our little Firework!



Effective January 2012, Dashy will no longer be in therapy! Due to his extreme growth and success, sweet Bleu has been released from weekly gross motor therapy sessions and we couldn't be more thrilled, proud, and relieved!



I'm also very impressed with Dash's concept of rhythm this early in his life. Not certain if his musicality is typical, but I sure do love watching his body movements change as the beat or rhythm of the song switches.



Hope ya'll enjoy!
